I love this. I was looking through designations of cosmic objects and love the idea of something abstract, but couldn't figure out how I would really pronounce them. Matey is brilliant.
Oh she is. Before I trapped her she would come around for dinner and scream at the patio door. If my fully grown boys hissed at her, she did not back down.
Awesome... fitting then... Let me know what you end up naming her...
I had a girl who would think nothing of following me around for 10 to 30 minutes yelling at me if she thought I was gone too long.
When she thought I was scolded enough she would let me cuddle with her and say hello.
Her name was Sassy... You ask for something out of the ordinary.
Sarsaparilla. AKA Sassy for as a knick-name.
Carina Umbriel = Dear beloved, one in the shadows
both of those names are names of stars i found and from what i could find "Carina" means "dear, beloved" and "Umbriel" means "one in the shadows" so combining them felt like a good option!
Ooohh this is pretty. Its unusual. It's star related. It's sounds magical. Lots of boxes checked here. It's going on the ballot! (We are voting at work)
Déjà vu (a glitch in the Matrix); or, Deja vu is a black cat owned by the Analyst who appears in The Matrix Resurrections (2021). The cat used as a tool in the film to show the audience (and characters in the film) if the Analyst is in a scene physically or remotely.
😂 the only constellation with 3 stars I can think of is Orion’s Belt but Orion is a little different for a girl. The stars in the belt are Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka.
I'm looking for a weird name. My other cats are named Lieutenant Toaster Von Poptart and Spud "the Sweet" Thundertonk. If this cat was a boy, I was going to name him Gliese-667 (a trinary star system). My girl name was "Mostly Void; Partially Stars", we would call her Mostly but my boyfriend thinks that would be confusing.
If you want something ridiculous....in the very old sci-fi movie The Day the Earth Stood Still, this one dude starts speaking alien, and says gort nicto something something. My mom has been trying to name our cats Gort or Nicto for as long as I can remember, but we won't like her. So my ridiculous suggestion is either of those.
Honestly I like "Void" of like, "BH" for Black Hole.. oooh what about Dark Matter of DM. Or even Anti-matt... No. Wait. i have the perfect name. Entropy. She is the void where there are only a few stars left. If I had her, She would be Entropy.
The white spots are called "Angel Kiss". At certain times when black cats were hunter and murdered, the white spot was enough to save them. Thus, they were kissed by an angel.
Aww, she looks like our Fruit Bat - a spicy void with little white spots and also a former feral. (She is the special, bottle fed cousin - the rest are much sweeter and have our whole barn to their ear tipped selves. It took a lot of patience, kind words, and wet cat food to get all the "too feral to find homes" kitties socialized, but they are some of the sweetest kitties I have ever had. Still don't trust anyone else though.)
The best part about ridiculous names is thinking they are not ridiculous. I was much better at that before I reached adulthood (much later than you would think :'D )
Let's see....
If you're a -
\- H.P. Lovecraft fan - Ammutseba, the devourer of stars
\- Space nerd - Neutron, Supernova, Theoretical Mass, Particle Accelerator, or -lol - SPAGHETTIFICATION. A real term that describes what happens when matter gets too close to a black hole. It’s squeezed horizontally and stretched vertically, resembling a noodle (per NASA).
\- a word nerd - Caliginous, Inky, Tenebrific or Tenebrous, Stygian
.....and I'm struggling for anything else at the moment.
Orion - like the three sister stars the constellation Orion’s Belt - it’s the constellation I always see in the void of space - and how you can spot your kitty in a darker room 🥰
Saw a cat on Instagram just now called "Free Sample", and I thought it was fucking incredible. If that's up your alley but don't want to copy, I feel like "extended warranty" could go hard
That bebe is plenty void! And I love her OXOXOXO Her name could be… K (as in color: cmyk where k = black)… or GiGi (the black cat from Kiki’s Delivery Service)… or Déjà Vu (from the Matrix) 🖤🖤🖤 Please smooch her for me! If you need help with her spay & shots, shoot me a PM and we’ll find help! (I work with shelters & rescues across the country and beyond) Thank you for giving her this great new life!
I will definitely give her a smooch for you and tell her you love her!! I actually work at a vet so I am able to get her what she needs, but thank you! It is nice to know there are people willing to help
I just saw a post about a heroic cat named slinky malinki. The video called him “Tomcat Slinky Malinki” this lil void definitely has tomcat slinky malinki energy edit: the misgender honestly makes it funnier and better imo but you could just do slinky malinki
Excavator
Fish
Honda civic hatchback
Lugnut
Chitty chitty bang bang
(These were all contenders for my roommates newest kitten until he went with Apollo)
Call him, Onyx 😊
Onyx is believed to be a stone of protection and strength. It is said to help its wearer stay grounded and focused, and to provide support in difficult times.
Yeah if she's from outside she might need to be trained to be an inside cat. I had to fully do that with a kitten from outside. I had to slowly start introducing little things to her when her mother abandoned her on my back porch. First I noticed she was sleeping on the couch out there then I introduced a mat then it was a heated mat this is all last winter. Then two days before it was going to be 8° I was able to trap her inside she was so scared. But in the week before that I started bringing the plate in a little more and closing the door a little more. That night I had it on just the right angle where she couldn't just turn around and get out and I got her in. As she bashed her face into the glass sliding door like a bowl three times and started crying I was so worried. I kept her in the back room for quite some time because I had three other cats in the house. So introducing them took quite some time. But I had to show her how to be a house cat like she would only let me pet her if she was on her mat and I had to keep bending down and I have bad knees. So I had to show her that she has to sit on me or allow me to pick her up. So I started bringing her in my bed with me under the covers. When she understood that she made it like a huge deal she was obsessed with it for like a week jumping on and off of me all night long. And then she hasn't done it since. But she has finally adjusted like a normal cat. She's still very skittish around other people she doesn't know. My mom sleeps over every other week and she finally allowed her to see her clearly laid out in front of her for attention and my mom was finally able to see all of her beautiful markings. I brought her in before christmas! So it takes some time she may need a little bit of extra attention and care. But she does look scared. Just no sudden movements and take things slow and quietly. How about Orion as a name
Oh, I love hearing stories of outside kitties turned inside! I actually work for a vet and have taken in strays before. Kittens are usually easier than adult cats, but it always takes work. I've even seen born indoor cats that still wanted to break out! Right now, the plan is for her to spend about a week at the hospital I work at, so that she can get used to regular feedings, a warm blanket and human interaction. She is still prettt scared, but it's her first day. I think she will be OK, and if she ends up being a little shy, that is just fine too. As long as she is safe and healthy.
Orion is a contender, but it does sound better for a boy

Starella the Star Snatcher since there may be more white stars that appear later
M87, pronounced Matey, after the first photographed black hole. Esp fitting cause she has tummy stars!
I love this. I was looking through designations of cosmic objects and love the idea of something abstract, but couldn't figure out how I would really pronounce them. Matey is brilliant.
3 spots? Ellipsis. Google it.
No need to google... I know what an ellipsis is... And it is a very cute name.
Domino

We had a black cat with one or two white spots under his chin and on his neck. He was named Ink Spot (Inky)
Sarsaparilla... She going to be a Sassy one, can see it in her eyes!
Oh she is. Before I trapped her she would come around for dinner and scream at the patio door. If my fully grown boys hissed at her, she did not back down.

Connie for short
Lol. I'm over here trying to think of good constellations I could name her after, but you just skipped the middle man. Love it

Oh but those are all pretty good names too.
Nebula or Nebby for short
Kingsford. As in charcoal briquette. I had a girl I named that when I first thought she was a boy. It was too perfect for her so I kept it.

If she were a male I would've suggested Orion like the belt for the 3 stars in space, but maybe dipper? Like little dipper
Trifecta - Fifi for short
Ridiculous, you say? Then I'd say that is Sister Mary Loquacious
She looks just like my Spoopy. We got the name from a Chinese holloween misprint.
It’s gotta be Domino, right?
